Welcome to Student Sponsorship Programme
Student Sponsorship Programme (SSP), one of South Africa’s first high school scholarship organisations, was founded more than a decade ago in 1999. SSP identifies academically distinguished learners from low income families and awards them scholarships to attend some of the best high schools in South Africa.
Quality education remains a privilege for many South African children. Our goal is to create leaders for South Africa by nurturing a learner’s academic talent through creating access to excellent high school education and leadership development skills.
Since its inception, SSP has impacted more than 1000 learners. We currently have 270 Alumni who are completing tertiary qualifications or practicing professionally in various industries such as commerce, medicine, IT, engineering, humanities and the Arts.
We have 309 scholars studying at our various partner high schools in Gauteng and the Eastern Cape. To date, 400 grade 7 learners have benefited from our Scholar’s Development Programme (SDP), a high school preparatory course.
With your support, we can help shape tomorrow’s leaders through education. Please navigate through our website to learn more about us and how you can get involved.
Sincerely,
Laurence Corner
Acting Executive Director
